Melanie C: Weight was my obsession

Former Spice Girl says she was always hungry

Melanie C

Singer Melanie C has described the extreme exercising and self-starvation of her Spice Girls days.

As Sporty Spice, weight became an obsession.

‘When I was in the Spice Girls I wasn’t eating,’ she confesses. ‘I was exercising way too much, my periods had stopped and my bone density was painfully low.’

Mel, now 33, endured a strict exercise regime of daily six-mile runs and three-and-a-half hour gym sessions.

‘I knew I wasn’t the prettiest,' she tells Weekend magazine. ‘But I thought I could, at least, have the best body.

‘Sometimes I ate nothing but fruit all day; my overriding memory is that I was always hungry.’
